The best part of this wonderful season is spending time with friends and family, and those gatherings are usually centered around food. Glorious, holiday food! While there isn’t another time of year that’s quite as delicious as the holiday season, it’s also a time for lots of extra calories.

I knew I wanted to make a sweet dish everyone could enjoy without added calories. That’s why I picked up a bag of SPLENDA® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener from Walmart. Almost three times the recommended amount of sugar is consumed during the holidays, and most of that is from added sugar. The SPLENDA® SWEET SWAPS™ Initiative is all about enjoying the amazing sweets this year, but while saving some calories. Be on the lookout for demos using SPLENDA® in your local Walmart.

SPLENDA® adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this crisp, combined with the tartness of the cranberries and crisp pears, this dessert is the perfect end to a delicious family meal.
